I forgot Tom Jones, just a joyous movie. (Not ChasSmith’s new personal friend.)

Haven’t seen The Beggar’s Opera. Would love to.

Monday afternoon greetings!  Slept until almost 9am, quite late for me.  Of course, I had to make up for the hour I lost between 2 and 3, when I was having a nosebleed  :P

We've had pigeons on the fire escape this morning, and now Annabelle will not abandon the window.

DR Elmore, finding the right diet for Kitty is harder than you'd think, as you have now found out.

There are so many different cat foods out there.  If you go into a Petco or other pet store, you'll find some very good quality ones.  They're also more expensive.

And you have to decide what the regimen is to be.  Maybe you already have.  Such as:  canned food? dry food? a combination?  Feedings at certain times of day?  (That's supposed to be much better for them than, say, leaving dry food out day and night.)

And then they eventually get bored with one or more of the choices, which my vet used to say is why there are so many different flavors and blends on the store shelves.  It's endless...

Back from the supermarket.  I was only in there to pick up a couple of household cleaner type things.  But I got home and lo and behold, someone seems to have stuffed a couple of freshly baked doughnuts from the bakery into my bag.  So...

The feral cat out back eats anything I give him. The back door cat, who lets me pet him, also eats anything because it takes away from the feral cat’s share.

I feed them the regular Meow Mix, but the soft version.

Before conking out last night, I watched the few YouTube excerpts I could find of productions of Dark of the Moon, and I didn't think a single one of them equaled or bettered the cast and production I saw yesterday.  In comparison, the one here absolutely brought out the spookier elements, and the depiction of the Appalachian people was more subdued and, yes, more "dark".  In retrospect, the mood of the local one makes me think of the more eerie pastoral elements of The Night of the Hunter.  I really wish I'd been able to see it earlier in the run, and return for a second shot at it.

The feral kitties eat anything I put out there, although they look at my sorrowfully when it is dry food. They run a'running when I put out canned. They gobble all of it down in minutes.

Elmore -- inside kitties lick off the gravy on anything with shreds or chunks. Outside kitties gobble it all down gratefully.

The fire department, along with the manager of our complex, have tested our fire alarms.  I am pleased to know they are all working.  Several units in our building were tested today, the rest will be done tomorrow.

Every unit has 3-6 (?) detectors, depending on the size.  With each test of a single detector every fire alarm goes off in the entire building.

They are done with the few units that requested the test today.

My hearing aids magnify the sound of the alarms into my ears.  I could not take my hearing aids out today as I needed to hear the door bell when it was our turn.  Tomorrow at the sound of the first alarm I am pulling them off and putting ear plugs in ;D

Have done the Indiegogo stuff, and I think we found our replacement actress for Levi.
